5 months without a salary, broken promises, "we'll find a way to pay every one" and a HUGE pile of lies and disrespect. Today I quit. I was Senior Game Designer, but I've never really felt like one. I'm tired. Burnt out. But I still want to CREATE. Let my rage transform into love for this project.

Mutations choice cards are up and running! I'm pretty satisfied about how they turned out (mutation artworks are still to be done as you can tell), except for the text style/placement. I'll play around a bit and hopefully make a video soon. Hope you like them!! #gamedev #indiedev

Long time no see! Lots of stuff happened in my life, but the project is far from dead. I've resumed working on it, so now we have: • Improved combat feeling • HUD with abilities (still wip) • ABILITIES! • Enemies' health bar will change color when you can devour them! . . #gamedesign #gamedev

Update: I found it, already seen it personally and i LOVE IT, so now onto the next steps. It's hard to focus on game development right now because so many things are happening in my life.

Demon Souls Fan Art I did a while ago because well…I’m a souls obsessed nerd. 😌 I think I created this after playing the remake on PS5 and was so inspired by everything about it. Would love to one day do some Bloodborne fan art, but I love to sit on my couch recently. The time will come.

Gif Test!

Project development is going a bit slow because I'm in the process of finding a new house... to buy? And it's wild. I don't even know if I feel truly ready to take this step and it's hard to balance work, house hunting and game development for this project. Please wish me luck!!

I never posted the animated versions of the Paradox Trio on BlueSky, so here you go. #pixelart

Hi! Not #The1MonthGame update, just wanted to let you know that I created a new game devs starter pack for awesome indies to follow. Includes indie devs with +1K followers, so the 150 limit isn't filled right away. Let me know to be added. Feel free to repost & suggest devs! 🎮 go.bsky.app/Hjfup3r

I am once again here to tell you to BACKUP your projects and have some form of version control. Physical copies, cloud copies, Git branches and all of the above. You can be a game dev, an artist, a journalist or whatever else, backups will be there when you need them the most.

Reposting this old Ranni piece 🩶 #art #eldenring

Introduce yourself with four video games.

I see a lot of new people here on Bluesky, especially game devs and studios. Excited for what this platform will be in the near future and glad to have you here!!

I was streaming the prototype to some friends on Discord and of course this happened making everyone burst into screeching screams - #gamedev

Slime group chat, what are they even talking about? #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

It makes me so happy seeing this little fella jumping in the water and swim like a penguin, I love this so much 😭❤️

Currently working on creating a save system for the project and wanted to say this to my fellow game devs: get a working save system early in the project!!

Made some improvements on basic combat, added a knockback to attacks + hit reaction and made a dissolving mesh VFX on enemy death! Bonus dance at the end of the video!! #indiedev #gamedev

Working on attacks and trail VFXs but then my slime friend decided to grab my attention by scaling up at every attack WHAT ARE YOU DOING #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike

Kinda depressing how much effort and time a game dev MUST put into trying to reach an audience on social medias, only to be seen by a bunch of people at best, especially in the beginning. Man, I just wanna make games and show them to people, why must I stress so much about algorithms and engagement

This is one of the first illustrations and key art I did 8 years ago when I started worldbuilding Scavenger, which later evolved into a full RPG setting for DnD 5E.

Honestly I'm having a lot of fun with the new Pokémon TCG Pocket app and I hope it will bring more players to the TCG world!! Battles are short and simplified, so I see a lot of potential 👀 #PokemonSky #PokemonTCG

As a game designer I've never properly touched animations, so being able to create a rig retargeter from the UE mannequin to my custom character was A BLAST (except for that damn tail that I will need to animate separately) #indiedev #solodev

Then crash the game and send that nosy mother fucker straight to their desktop

Me when I zone out while doing something

Update on my war against tail animations: IT WORKS!! From game designer to 3D animator in one SIMPLE step (just kidding I hate everything)

I hope whoever invented the concept of animating tails in video games is suffering

I started a little Gameboy platformer project (kind of a reboot of an older project). Heres a clip showing the environments I've made so far. yay. #gbstudio #gamedev #pixelart

The piece that started my obsession with glowing bodies of water #space #pixelart #art #purple

I made this animation long ago but it's exactly the Bluesky effect

Just a #pixelart #gamedev making their first post here. I make art and animations for games and design my own games in my free time.

For my fellow game designers out there, what's your favorite tool to track your tasks?

A quick UNSPONSORED tip for my fellow game devs regarding FREE VERSION CONTROL! As many of you may already know, free solutions are usually limited to 1 or 2GB per project. Diversion (www.diversion.dev) offers a whopping 100GB and up to 5 users for free and they also have a plug in for UE5!

Might seem stupid but I love scrolling my feed and interacting with game devs posting their stuff, the community here is rapidly growing and I hope more people will start interacting with others instead of holding back!!

New to Bluesky so I need to get some accounts to follow, drop here a comment if you are a #indiedev , #gameartist or whatever role related to videogames!🎮 Also let's bring back #WishlistWednesday for those who are working on a title (with or without an existing page)!

Me when I said I was not going to hurt my minions but a highly throwable imp appears

Hello there, I'm J! About a month ago I started working on a solo project, a roguelike about a little minion trying to prove himself. This all started because I was feeling stuck in my daily routine and it was killing my creativity. I felt like I was losing my passion for creating games. [1/3]
